omg i actually understood what he said!!!! I am smarter than i thought

Actually power could be delivered in part by the tether to a space elevator, and certainly use a "third rail" method to power the lifters. Chances are the tether itself will be very conductive. I liked the laser idea, using star wars tech. He's also correct that military R&D inspires new tech. It's what has driven most new developments. I use the most recent analogy of slavery to describe fossil addiction. Where even our constitution said it was wrong while it was motivated by economics.

Guess some of the theses and technologies by Nicola Tesla like long range energy transfer might be useful here. As long as it does not nuke some city instead of hitting the correct power line on earth ;-)

Just to set things straight. Space solar power was born in the brains of folks who had global environmental, as well as global energy, concerns going back decades. Fortunately, the world produces a few thinking people who, on behalf of conservative reactionaries who don't give a flying crap about the biosphere in which they live, move the species forward in ways that the reactionary is incapable of predicting. Let the hotFusionReactionary think on this one.

Maybe, maybe not. BUT it still doesn't change the fact that we could produce a virtually INFINITE amount of electricity using SPS WITHOUT any garbage from environmentalists. Capitalism at its finest...
hotFusionReaction (July 19th, 2008 @ 12:00 am)
SPS is the first REAL option I've seen that I would back over Nuclear. Generally speaking, I get upset when environmentalists overlook Nuclear, but this looks as though it could REALLY blow the current base load power structure right out of the water!

Local power systems could operate off of energy collected nearby, while places which need power elsewhere longdistance either on ground or in space could use the power relayed more so from space.satelites could send that energy about as quickly as they recieve it to specific destinations on the ground. Satelites in space could relay power to other satelites if need be or to aid in power sharing in space as well as on the ground.
KnightChatX (June 11th, 2008 @ 2:18 pm)
You'd relay wirelessly power from individual generators, solar, wind, etc. into a power sharing wireless grid network, satelites could be used to extend the wireless pipeline, to gather/share energy in space and to/from the ground based generators. At the sametime retrieve and transmit power in space to the ground where it's either stored or accessed in realtime by individual devices and/or to individual homes, businesses, or communities which recieved the power distribution.

Might wanna start small and work out something on the ground, workout a method for power generation and then power transfer, then staying small perfect electronics, and gradually work to bigger networked experiments, and eventually implement a power sharing system in space and ground where the satelites work like power relays like the internet and existing cell phone networks do.

The technology since brown did not create it scientists working with the objects felt it was something alien or out of this world from somewhere else. One such test was ION vacuum test, which was to test and determine weither or not an ION Wind required oxygen or not and how it'd react when lack of oxygen took place and to confirm the ion wind theory that came accross from the lifter concept.

Many years later a modified form using the same exact concept they found it was easier to achieve hovering by launching an object into orbit. The object was eventually given the name of the satelite, and began multi-purpose function of communications and TV. Which it continued to improve on over time, and it was no longer called the lifter. Sometime later Brown stumbled upon technology the general created and began to assign scientists to perform tests and reverse engineer.
